Pre-Registration Deadlines - Updated 21st May 2006
To make sure that everyone who wants to attend Auto Assembly: Target 2006 and receives their Confirmation Slips and Information Packs in plenty of time before the convention this year, we have decided to set some definitive cut-off dates for bookings this year. After these dates, we will not be accepting ANY pre-registrations and the only way you will be able to get a ticket after that point is if we have any on the door places.
International Bookings - CLOSED (see important notes below)
The deadline for International Bookings has now CLOSED - this was set as Saturday 20th May 2006 in order for us to be able to process them and ship confirmation slips and information packs out to everyone in time for the convention. We had to set this date to ensure that packs arrived before you travel to the UK allowing you to get into the convention! With airmail taking several days within Europe and about a week for the rest of the world this would give everyone enough time to get your confirmation slips and information packs.
If you live within mainland Europe there still a small chance that you can book and get your confirmation slips in time for the convention, but this is dependent on your flights and international mail. We must stress that these bookings are made at your OWN RISK and we can not guarantee slips will arrive in time. Simply, the later you leave it, the less likely it is that your packs will arrive before the convention.
UK Bookings - PARTIALLY CLOSED (see important notes below) / Online Bookings - 27th May 2006
While we are able to get Confirmation Slips and Information Packs out faster to UK registrants than we are to those living outside of the UK, if you are booking by post then we need to allow extra time for those of you booking by post as this will allow us plenty of time to present your cheque to the bank, for it to clear and for us to make sure that your booking confirmations and information packs are shipped to you in time for the convention so really this deadline had to be Saturday 20th May 2006 as well so provisionally postal bookings for the UK are CLOSED!
However, we are now planning regular visits to our bank most days between now and the convention so we WILL still be accepting postal bookings for the next few days and if you are paying by postal order or cash (and we must stress that cash is sent at your own risk), then this deadline is extended to Saturday 27th May 2006. If you book after this date, you are booking at your OWN RISK and we can not guarantee you will receive your packs in time.
UK Bookings - Online deadline, Sunday 28th May 2006
If you are booking online and paying by PayPal, then the FINAL deadline is Sunday 28th May 2006. As payments are processed immediately, we will be able to ship your confirmation slips by Tuesday 30th May 2006 first class so they will reach you by Thursday 1st June 2006 at the latest. Please note that we can not guarantee to process bookings after these deadlines or dispatch confirmation slips in time for the event, especially with the bank holiday at the end of May, so you may be disappointed or not receive your slips in time.
On The Door Availability
With regards to on-the-door places, we will post details here on the Auto Assembly website, forum and issue details through all major Transformers websites as to the number of on-the-door places available on Saturday 27th April 2006 should there be any. However, these will be on a first-come, first-served basis so we would advise that you arrive at the convention early to ensure your best chance of admission to the convention. If in doubt, pre-register.

Auto Assembly: Target 2006 is now less than THIRTEEN DAYS AWAY and as there are NO other Transformers conventions planned for the UK for 2006 this is your only chance to attend an event this year unless you are planning on travelling overseas. We are still in talks to bring further guests to the convention in addition to the NINE already confirmed and we hope to have more activities to announce shortly, not to mention the now infamous goodie bag that all attendees will receive full of free gifts! As there are now only a few days before the bookings cut-off, please ensure that you send your bookings to us NOW to avoid disappointment!
